Solution

The correct option is C Linearly dependent
Let $\to a, \to b, \to c$ be three non-zero, non-parallel coplanar vectors.
$⟹ \to a = λ \to b + μ \to c$ ............. (Property of coplanarity)
$⟹$ vector $\to a$ depends on vectors $\to b$ and $\to c$
Thus, they are Linearly dependent.
Hence, the three vectors are coplanar if they are linearly dependent.
Hence, option A is correct.
